Getting started with Typeassist and Typeassist +

The Typeassist + software has been designed and developed to be simple to use and ‘no instructions’ necessary software! It has a useful ‘Help’ cell which will guide you through all the features and offer simple ‘how to’ instructions.

Here is how you start typing and speaking out your first sentence using Typeassist +!

Let’s start with the sentence ‘This is a new way to type’

Please find and select the cell with the letter ‘t’. You will see that Typeassist + predicts the word ‘This’. The word prediction has now brought up ‘is’ in its selection of 8 predictions. Once you select ‘is’ you will see that Typeassist + has also gone on to predict ‘a’ and then ‘new’. However, the system has not predicted ‘way’. You will now need to select the cell with the letter ‘w’ and you will see ‘way’ has now appeared in the predictions. You will now need to select the word ‘to’ from the predictions selection.

You will now see the sentence ‘This is a new way to’ in the text bar at the top of the screen.

The system hasn’t predicted ‘type’ so you will need to select the cell with the letter ‘t’ . The word ‘type’ has not appeared in the selection of predictions so you will need to select the cell with the letter ‘t’ again. You will notice it still hasn’t selected the word ‘type’ so you will now need to go to the cell with the letter ‘y’ and you will see that ‘type’ has now been predicted. Now please select the cell with the full stop to finish your sentence.

You can speak out your message in two ways, either by simply touching the black text bar at the top of your screen or by selecting ‘controls’ and ‘speak’.

After a few practice sentences you will be able to create sentences quickly and easily!
